I’ll share my perspective from working in big tech. Mobile apps aren’t the sexy tech they once were (like in 2012). We do have mobile apps critical to the customer experience. Even the same app may have some components or features built natively, using some framework (React Native), or html rendering. And these apps are supported by dozens or more teams across organizations. Delivering this at scale is hard. And big tech likes to launch things quickly, and so you might see something that’s an obvious thing to fix… but it turns out that changing that one thing will break several other things. There’s no single holistic architecture even within one distribution of the app. It doesn’t really matter if they’re a thing of the past. Mobile apps aren’t as novel anywhere - your customers expect a mobile app. That actually raises the stakes because making the wrong architectural decisions is going to be very costly in the future as your business has to scale or might even straight up prevent your business from becoming successful in the first place.
